POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day. MARLBOROUGH• STREET. A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING THE POLICE ...Albert Martin Cater, gentleman, of 36, Frederick street, Gray's Inn-road, was charged before Mr Knox with being drunk and disorderly in Tichborne.street, and as saulting Police constable John Fisher, 334 A. Fisher said, on the previous night, about eleven o'clock, he saw the defendant behaving in a disorderly manner in Tichborne-street, catching hold of females who were passing. The defendant tried to enter the London Pavilion, but seeing he was drunk, he told him he had better go away and come some other night. Defendant refused to go away, and again caught hold of two or three females who were coming out of the place, and made another attempt to enter. He prevented him doing so, when he struck him twice on the head. He then, with the assistance of three other constables, took defendant to the station. Dennison, 116 C, proved assisting Fisher in taking de fendant to the station. The defendant said he had been out with a few friends, and got the worse for liquor, Mr Knox said it; could not be permitted that the police should be knocked about while properly performing their duty. The defendant was then fined 20s or seven days. WESTMINSTER. AN INCORRIGIBLE JUVENILE DELINQUENT.—John Lloyd, a boy between 13 and 14 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a penny. Mrs Susan Griffiths, of 40, Ebury-street, Pimlico, who keeps a dairy, said that last evening she was sitting in her parlour when she heard the till in her shop open, and on going there found the prisoner taking his hand from the till with a penny in it. He had crawled round the counter on his hands and knees to get to the till, and when disco vered endeavoured to get out of the shop, but was prevented. The police were sent for, but as they were a long time corn ing, the prisoner showed fight, and while prosecutrix was overcoming her confusion at the circumstance, he bolted out, but was followed and secured. Mr Arnold—ls he known ? Police—He has been twice before convicted of felony, there was a similar robbery to this committed the night before in this street, of which he is suspected. Prisoner—He's accusing me falsely. It was my own penny I had in my hand, and she said it was hers, and it is a shame. Prisoner's father, a respectable-looking, hard-working man, said, he had tried all he could, but his son was incor rigible. He thought the only chance for him was to get him to sea. Prisoner—My sight is short, and they won't take me. I have tried. Mr Arnold (to the father)—Can you get a ship for him ? The father -I am sure I don't know; I will try. Prisoner—They won't have me because of my sight. Mr Arnold—ls there anything the matter with his sight? The father—Not in the least, he can see as well as any one here. 111 r Arnold —l will remand him for a few days, to give you an opportunity of seeing whether you can get him a ship. It would be much better that he should go to sea than to prison. The Capture of the United States Mail Steamer Roanoke. A passenger gives the following account of the capture : On the 29th September the United States mail steamship, Roanoke, Francis A. Drew, Master, left the port of Havan na]; bound for New York, passing the Moro Castle at five p.m., with 24 passengers, and 16 in the steerage, the officers and crew numbering 50, making 90 persons on board. The steamer proceeded on her voyage at a speed of some 12 knots per hour, running within sight of and a short distance from the coast during some two or three hours, the time passing agreeably and without anything unusual having occurred until about 9 20 p.m., when, about 25 miles off the Coast of Cuba, the passengers wore not a little sur prised at hearing proclaimed, by a man dressed in the Con. federate naval uniform, who proved to be no less a per sonage than the capita . er of the Chesapeake—viz., Lieut. John C. Brain, and who in a loud voice said, "In the name of the Confederate States of America I demand the surren der of this vessel as a lawful priz.," and calling upon Capt. Drew to surrender as a prisoner of war. This announcement was immediately followed by the discharge of several pistols, with which the attacking party were armed. From that moment the work of the capture commenced. Lieut. Brain, taking the upper aeck of the vessel, accompanied by officer Little, the purser, and a seaman, secured the captain and officers on that deck, placing them in irons, while officer Parr, the first and second engineers, and three seamen pro ceeded with the officers and crew on the main deck, until Lieut. Brain and officer Little, leaving the upper deck in charge of the purser and a seaman, went below to the assist ance of officer Parr, when at 15 minutes past 10 o'clock, in the space of 65 minutes, the capture had been consummated, and the vessel was proceeding on her voyage as the Confe derate States Prize Steamship Roanoke. There was but little violent resistance made, except by the carpenter of the vessel, who, after surrendering, seized an axe and aimed a blow at the head of officer Parry,but the axe falling short of its mark four balls pierced the body of the man, from the effect of which he fell and expired in a few minutes. In a short time after the capture Captain Drew was re [eased upon his parole, _ . Having been favoured with a perusal of the register of the Roanoke, 1 learn from it that she was built in New York by the New York and Virginia Navigation Company,iwho were her sole owners; her dimensions being in length 218 ft ; breadth, 32ft ; depth, 10ft 6in, and measuring 1,071 tons. Also, from a certificate attached to her register, it ap • pears that the vessel was seized at the port of New York under the Confiscation Act of the United States, and re leased on bond. Lieutenant Brain exhibited to me his orders and commis sion from the Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate States to make the capture of the Roanoke. Whether the fact of her having been owned by the Navigation Company afore said, some of the members being citizens of the Confederate States, and on whose account she was seized. as above stated, thus dispossessing said citizens of their property, caused the Government to order her capture, I am not advised. It would not, however, require any extraordinary stretch of imagination to enable one to arrive at that conclusion. The following are the names and residences of the officers and crew who made the capture of the Roanoke :—John C. Brain, acting master, Holly Springs. Parr, master's mate, Nashville, Tennessee —Thomas R. Little, master's mate, Mobile, Alabama —Alex. Lathrop, purser, Kentucky—Robert Truth, first engineer, New Orleans— James Conlen, second engineer, Galveston, Texas—Robert Gage, seaman, Mobile, Alabama--Arthur Morehead, sea man, Louisiana—H, Braddock, seaman, Union Town, Ken tucky—J. D. Van Amburg, seamen, Staunton, Virgieia. Lieutenant Brain informed me that on his arrival off St. George's it was his intention to provision and coal the vessel, parole and land the passengers, officers and crew, and take the vessel to Wilmington. But it having been found im possible to take the vessel into said port, the only thing he could do was to burn the Roanoke, and with his officers and crew go ashore at St. George's, which he accordingly did (after transferring the passengers, officers, and crew to a brig five miles off the coast) at 4 o'clock on the morning of Sunday the 9th of October. Zadkiel's Almanack for 1865. Yes—there is no getting over the fact—however • much we may pooh-pooh the pseudo•science, as Astrology has long since come to be dubbed by the great mass of our Natural Philosophers ' —Zsdkiel Tao Sze still flourishes. Here he comes forth in his Thirty-afth - j - early edi tion—and that edition in its Fifty-fifth thou sand. His circulation, therefore, it would appear, has not diminished—even after the lifting but a few months ago of the mysterious curtain, that until then had concealed his identity from the chance of public recognition. So that, in spite of his appear ance in propria persona in the witness box of a Court of Law down at Guildhall during the well known case of Morrison v. Belcher, the famous trial relating to the Exhibition of the Magic Crystal by the Plaintiff—in spite of Z idkiel public appearance, there and then, in his twofold capacity of Witness and Plaintiff, he can actually issue his almanac for the coming year to the number of 55,000 I The continuance of this immense sale could hardly have followed, no doubt, the dis closure of Zadkiel in the flesh—had he, upon the 0CC26011 referred to, proved to be some vulgar trickster, with forehead " villanous low," bearing about him all those evidences popularly believed to appertain to some more cunning impostor in mysti cism, Proving to be—as Zadkiel did—however, when the eyes of the whole crowded court were turned upon him, as he stood there in the witness• box—the very reverse of all this—Zadkiel's popu larity has somehow survived the perilous revelation. There seemed to be no such disenchantment when the well-known Reader of the Stars turned out to be a manly-looking veteran Sea-Captain, bearing upon his breast more than one honourable decora tion. And so—again—this time as .his thirty-fifth annual apparition—Almanac in hand comes forth Zadkiel Tao Sze, with—Predictions of the weather for the approaching Twelve month! With Voices of the Stars !

For, as the upper group in this hieroglyphic, have we not the Fates intent upon a Royal thread of life—Atropos about to sever it with her shears. *** We observe his prophecy:of this year for the last three days has turned out exceedingly correct—viz. quoting from his own words, " 14th, 15th, and 16th Nov., fog and small rain." Death of Lord Manners, We havn to announce the death of Lord Manners which occurred at Hastings on Monday. His lord ship had long been in a precarious state of health, his disease being consumption. John Henry Man. ners-Sutton, eecend Baron of Foston, Lincolnshire, was eldest son of a distinguished father, the Right Hon. Thomas Manners-Sutton, who became Solici tor-General in 3805, and shortly afterwards one of the Barons of the Exchequer, and in 1807 was ap pointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Manners. His mother was a daughter of Mr James Butler, of Fethard, a near relative of the Earl of Glengall. He was born in Stephen's green, Dublin, on the 17th of August, 1818, succeeded his father on the 31st of May, 1842, and married on the 28th of September, 1848, Lydia Sophia, third daughter of Captain William 13.tteman Dishwood,R.N., by whcm he leaves issue a youthful family—three sons and two daughters. His successor in the title is the Hon. John Thomas Manners-Sutton, born on the, 15th of May, 1852, Lord Manners was a Deputy-Lieutenant of Suffolk, and captain in the West Suffolk Male. The first peer was fifth son of Lord George Manners-Sutton, ecn of the third Duke of Rutland (who inherited in 1762 the estates and assumed the name of his mater. nal grandfather, Robert Sutton, B iron Lexington) ; his elder brother was Charles, Archbishop of Can terbury, and his nephew was the Primate's son, Charles Manners Sutton, G.C.8., Speaker of the House of Commons 1817— 34, who was raised to the peerage as Viscount Canterbury. SEAMEN MISSTNG, Information has reached Hartlepool of the loss of the Constellation, of that port, on the sth inst. The master reports that she struck upon a rock off the Niddegen Lights, in the Cattegat, and sunk an hour afterwards. The crew, ten in number, divided, five men getting into each boat. The poor fellows had no oars, and they had to use their jackets for sails. The jolly boat, in charge of the master, after drifting about two days, cast up on Jutland, but an hour after they landed one of her crew, Alfred English, died. There has been no word of the other boat's crew, and there is every reason to believe they have perished. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A STATION-MASTER.— Mr Steele, station-master, Pickle Bridge, near Halifax, was stabbed in a dreadful manner by Noah Wood, a shoe maker, of Norwood Green, near Halifax, on Monday after noon. Steele was at one time a porter at the Victoria Station, Manchester, and between him and Wood there would have appeared to have been an old grievance. Wood wcs brought up before the Halifax West Riding bench, but in consequence of the serious illness of Steele the prisoner was remanded till Saturday.—Sheffield Telegraph. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—Thie morning about 6 o'clock, Sergeant Glass, 3 C, was called to No. 24, Peter-street, St. James's, when he found that a woman, named Margaret Huckersfield had cut her throat in a most frightful manner with a large table-knife. No time was lost in conveying the poor woman in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, but on being attended by one of the surgeons, life was found to he extinct. The deceased, who had only lodged at the house a few days, is said to have been of re spectable appearance, and she had informed some of the persons residing in the house that she had only lately left service, and that she had a son residing near London. No cause can he assigned for the act, hut it is believed to have been committed through distress. A KING CHARGED WITH SWINDLING.—The French attorney, Tounens, who " by the grace of God and the will of the people" has become King of Arau cania and Patagonia, appeared on Saturday in the Correc tional Police-court at Paris, on a charge of swindling, which was set forth in the following terms by the presiding judge: —" In December last you alighted at one of the best hotels in Paris. You engaged an apartment at 15ef a month. You intimated your intention of boarding at the hotel, which is easily understood, for you could not well board elsewhere. You were without resources, but you had, we are told, an excellent appetite. Your tastes were of a very refined na ture. You required the most sumptuous fare, and when the dishes were not sufficiently delicate you rejected them. When persons are in such great penury as you were they should be much more modest, even though they may have been Kings of Araucania and Patagonia. You lived in this way curing four months. Now, for a man who perhaps had worn a crown, but who had not a farthing• in his pocket, this was not over-delicate conduct. One day you disappeared from your hotel--you went, I don't know where, to your family, to solicit aid. You re turned to your hotel, and then you spoke of resources which would enable you to pay your debt—resources to be de rived from an enterprise you were about to engage in—fac tories in Araucania and Patagonia. You opened offices in Paris in a little corner of the Rue Vivienne. You printed statutes of a company, with Ico millions of francs capital. Your attempt did not succeed—you did not get a sous. You were asked how you meant to pay your hotel expenses, and you said you should do so when you formed your com pany. How, without having a eingle subscriber, oould you pay ? Did you mean to pay your personal expenses with the money of your shareholders ? In fact, you have not been able to pay. What answer can you make ?" A long examination followed, in which the accused tried to defend himself as hest he could. He had hopes of forming his com pany—he had hopes of getting back his crown—he had no intention of swindling anybody—he had given the landlady of the hotel an acknowledgment of his debt, which he meant and which he tried to pay—but all his exertions to raise money failed. Witnesses were called, who deposed that he had been for some time King of Araucania, and that he had been taken prisoner by the Chilians and sentenced to be shot, and that he was saved. by the French authorities, Moreover, it was proved by a letter from the Procureur at Perigueux, that during the time he practised there as a lawyer he had borne an excellent character for probity. The Procureur moreover added that ho di - I not believe him capable of swindling anybody, but that his pretended royalty of Araucania had completely upset his ideas and made him indulge the most proposterous projects, and that he was affected with a monomania which had completely absorbed his intellect. The judgment of the court was to this effect : —" Whereas, by assuming the title of Prince and King of Araucania, the accused may have anted under the influence of chimerical thoughts and facts, but which, perhaps, to him seemed true, that, consequently, the character of swindling not appearing in the case, it decided - that there was good reason to pronounce his acquittal."--Ho was ac• cordingly set at liberty. The Courricr efrsPas (1,1 Galan state3:thst as soon as it became known at Calais that M. llerryer was to arrive on Friday by the steamer from England, the barristers of that town and many of the principal inhabitants determined to pay their respects to him. A great number accordingly assembled on the quay, and greeted him with loud cheers on landing. M. l3erryer expressed himself highly gratified with this manifestation, and before leaving the station he received all the members of the Calais bar, and thanked them for the honour they had done him, THAMES. TAKE CARE of YOUR LlNEN.—Thomas Whip, a boyish looking fellow, said to be 21 years old, was brought before .31r Partridge charged with a linen robbery. John Mackey, 414 K, met The prisoner last night in the Mile-end-road carrying a bundle which contained wet linen, and asked him where he was going, to which he replied that he had a few things of his own, and was about to get them washed. Mackey said that tale did not satisfy him, and took him to the station-house. The prisoner was searched, and four shirts, quite clean, in addition to his own dirty one, were found on his back. Mr Partridge—He was wearing five shirts ? Witness—He was, sir. There were three ladies' petti coats, a chemise, two pairs of ladies' drawers, a diaper towel, and a cotton handkerchief in the bundle I took from him. The linen has been taken from the yard or garden of some family residence. The prisoner—lt's true, your worship; it's true all the policeman says. Mr Partridge—What account have you to give of your self ? The prisoner—l told a lie last night. I followed a man nto a room and stole the things. Mr Partridge—Where is the house? The prisoner—You go straight down the Bow -road, pass the railway bridge, then turn to the right, then to the left again, and you are sure to find the house all the things were taken horn. Mackey—l have no doubt I shall find an owner for tke property. Mr Partridge—Very well then, I will remand the pri soner for a week. SAVAGE Assliaz.—Martin Smith, waiter at a beer shop in. St. George-ia-the-East, was called upon to surrender and answer a charge of assaulting a woman named Sarah Cromarty, who is in the London Hospital. The accused, who had been liberated on bail, did not ap pear, and Mr Bowdles, the second clerk, said the party was charged with a serious outrage. A poor woman went into a beer shop to inquire after her husband, who was carous ing there, and Smith seized her, used her with great bru tality, and flung her out of the house. Her thigh was broken. Mr Walter Coleman, house surgeon of the London Hos pital, said the woman could not leave her bed. It was a very serious case. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, who was engaged in the case, said the persons who became bail for the prisoner were in attendance. Mr Partridge—The recognizances must be estreated. Mr Charles Young said the bail had done all in their power to find the prisoner, Mr Partridge said the sureties could arrest the prisoner wherever and whenever they could find him. Mr Charles Young—Will you remand him for a week? Mr Partridge—l cannot do so. There is no prisoner be fore me to remand. Mr Charles Young—Will you be so kind, sir, as to re lieve the bail for a week, and give them time to look after the fugitive. Mr Partridge said if persons became bail for a prisoner in a police-court, and the party did not appear, they must expect to pay the money named in the bail bond or go to prison. He would estreat the recognisances to-day, but allow the searchers one week to find Martin Smith. If he was not then forthcoming the recognisanoes woull be estreated. Mr Bowdler—Then I will mark the case discharged. Mr Partridge—No, no; I do not discharge the prisoner. He does not appear to answer the serious charge against him. Mr Bowdlcr—Very we'll, sir ; then I will enter on my book, "No appearance—the accused to be arrested where ever he can be found." MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of home grown wheat were but moderate. The trade, however, ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday. _ _ With foreign wheat, the market was well supplied. In most transactions the amount of business transacted was very moderate, at the rates current on Monday. Fluating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. There was a fair supply of barley on the stands. Good and fine malting qualities moved off steadily, at full quota tions; otherwise, the barley trade was quiet, on former terms. Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates. 'With oats, the market was moderately supplied. Gene rally speaking, the trade was firm, at full currencies. Beans and peas met a slow sale, at late prices.

FOOTBALL.--OLD ETONIANS V. WESTMINSTER.•-• This match was played at Vincent-square on Wednesday, 16th inst., and resulted in favour of the latter, who obtained two games to their opponent's one. The games for West minster were kicked by B. Preston and F. Giles, and those of the Old Etonians by H, A. Hills. Railway Passenger Signals, Yesterday some trials were made at the Waterloo Station of the South Western Railway of Mr Edmund Tattereall's plan of railway signals as between passengers and the guards. The apparatus, which is to a certain extent simple, though not inexpensive, nor likely to be kept in good work ing order, unless carefully looked after, was not tried upon a train in motion. It was simply affixed to a first-class car riage for the inspection of the chairman and directors of the South Western Railway, that they and others might judge how far such a contrivance would meet; the want now felt on every line, of some easy mechanism by which any occu pant of any compartment in a travelling train can at once attract the attention and insure the attendance el the guard. The apparatus has, however, we aro informed, been actu• ally used upon trains in motion for short distances, and, us far as instantly alarming the guard is concerned, has answered admirably well. The mechanism shown yesterday was on a first-class carriage, and consisted of a simple wire chain, which passes over the heads of first-class pas• sengers seated at one side of the compartment. A very vigo rous pull on this liberates a detent which holds back a small white staff about a foot long, an inch in diameter, and with a conspicuous button at the end. The staff is jerked out by a spring on both sides of the carriage simultaneously, and the same movements which effects this does also, by the jerk on the wire, strike a hammer upon a copper bell outside the car riage with a loud resonant sound, which can be repeated as often as the wire is jerked, till the guard's assistance or attention is secured. There is no danger of the train being stopped by this alarm, as it is simply a call to the guard and not the driver. Nor is there any fear of such a facility being abused, as the white staff we have spoken of once liberated cannot be thrust back by the occupants of the compartment who have sent it forth, so that if done for mischief its per petrators would be at once detected. In these impartant re spects therefore—first as insuring the attendance of the guard, if really wanted, and next insuring the discovery of the persons who needlessly sounded the alarm—Mr Tatter sall's invention seems to answer all the purposes required. As far as the noise of the bell is concerned its alarm is admi rable. Its sound,eve are told, has been heard by the guard as far off as nine carriages distant, and this in a train that was travelling at speed. Yet looked at from either aspects, the invention is not so complete as one would wish it to be in these days when all are hoping for a good, cheap, and sim ple apparatus of this kind as will leave railway directors no excuse for its non - adoption. In the first place, we fear it would be considered too costly, especially when the possibi lity of its not doing the work required with invariable cer tainty was carefully dwelt on. Thus, to say nothing of its liability to derangement from dirt and rust, it is almost cer tain that one so inclined could from the inside of the carriage so tamper with the spring so as to prevent the white staff shooting out at all, and then might pull the bell as he chose. Again, to be of any certain use the little wire chain should be on both sides of each co m p ar t m ent, and should be so contrived as to requi re a less powerful effort than that which Mr Tattersall' s i nvention now seems to necess i tate. It is said that this extreme rigidity of the apparatus is ne cessary to prevent incessant vibration between the hammers and bells as the train is moving fast, and so getting the guards sufficiently accustomed to the sound to leave little chance of the summons being attended to when it was really rung as an alarm. It is even said that to prevent such complete neutralisation of the very purpose of the in • vention, the apparatus must be made yet stiffer still. If this is so, and bearing in mind the fact that it now requires a strong—indeed, a very s trong —effort to ring the bell at all, its value to a half stunned man or fainting girl, when it is made still more rigid, would be almost nil. As a matter of course, MrTattcrsall does not overlook the obvious fact that during the night his white stave s wou ld no t be s ee n by th e guard at all, so for night tr ains, instead of the detent libe ir;g'thibtegd lamp,awhitelishteaffa policeman' s bulbs-eye, which is, as well staff, it simply dr o p s a li tt l e s h a d e f rom o ff a though until to the travellingnowinvain.Hispub lic as as the bell mechanism, to b e af fixed to the corner of every ge of very application night train, This idea is not a bad one, b we fear, f u ll o f difficulties, not alone as to its mere cost , but as to it s working feasibil i ty at any cost. Mr Tattersall, however, d eserves the thanks of the public for having devoted his time ca u r t ria its practical e without any hope of emu n all have ti a il s , to wished suchr ,tha security plan, though scarcely likely to find gene ra l f avour with di rectors, e v gi ve fo will, at least, be the first step t owards fulfilling an acknowledged want, and the ingenious mechanist who goes yet further and completes *0 rough idea may safely look to his reward. To the mass of those w h o have really travel led, nothing appears more simple than th e plain expedient of the Americans, whic.!l is also followed on some Swiss lines, of having a cord that passes along th e roof of every carriage, and communicates at either end with the engine driver orguard. In no country in the world is such a pre caution loss heeded than in Arne , ica f wh ere t h e carr i ages aro public thoroughfares, literally contain scores of occu pants, and where any passenger has only to wa lk back wards or forwards to say wha t h e wishes to either driver or guard, yet in no part of the world but i n A merica is such care taken. It has been said over and over again that in this country such a mode of communication would be more mischievous than usef u l, f rom the man ner in which the privilege would , be abused. It is hard, however, to under stand tha t an E nglshutan cannot rise up to the mild standard of an American's i self cont ro l i n thi s respect, or that simple mechanism could not bo devised to prevent any chance of the signal. s misuse. A plain cord, such as is used in America, passing along the roofs of the carriages, with a common index signal to fly out in the car riage when the cord was pulled, as the numbers of rooms i in hotels a re shown whe n a bell b s rung, would answer Every purpose. lint v, • -h e arer of this or some other kindred invention the public bas urgent need just de voted v- and Mr Tattersall deserves the thenke of, the public for having attention, whether successfully or not, to this all-im portant question.

(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jary.) CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON. The Queen's Advocate resumed his address to the jury on behalf of the respondent. lie said—The four charges against Colonel Anderson were of such a gross and impro bable kind that many of them were quite sufficient, in his opinion, to refute themselves ; yet it would be necessary to refute it by evidence which he thought would be sufficient to dispel the calumnies heaped upon Mrs Codrington with such hatred and malignity. The jury, he thought, would never dream of convicting the respondent upon such evi dence as that of Duck and Roe, bacause he felt certain that persons nurtured with the slightest tincture of good breeding would entirely disbelieve such remarkable proceedings as they spoke to. It was impossible to call before the jury the person who could do it in the most direct manner; yet he was happy to inform them that he should be sale to call before them a gentleman, Lieutenant Galway, who would prove by the most incontrovertible evidence that the evi dence of Policeman Duck was altogether a vile fabrication. There were, in addition to the charges against Colonel Anderson, three charges against Lieut. Mildmay, and here again this indefatigable witness Duck was again the chief witness. It was in evidence and beyond a doubt, that the greatest enmity existed in the mind of Duck against his mistress, because she had reported him to the Admiral on two occasions—once, because he refused, at her request, to take off his hat whilst the Host was passing, after which he never for three months was allowed to do the slightest thing for Mrs Codrington. The other circumstance was that she again reported Duck to the Admiral for his fami liarities with a Maltese girl (Teresa), and the Admiral was so incensed against Duck that he threatened to have him sent on board the Hibernia and flogged. Although at this time it was evident that he had the utmost hatred and detestation for his mistress, having, according to his own evidence, the honour of Mrs Codrington in his hands, he quietly allows all this to take place and never says a word about the alleged familiarities with Colonel Anderson and Lieutenant Mildmay. Why, he believed the jury would at once disbelieve the assertions of such a man—a man who now comes forward and never seems satisfied without he could charge Mrs Codrington with adultery in the open street, in a boat, or on a landing place. It might be in such places that Duck would gratify his sensual propensities, but to imagine any person with the slightest degree of education and propriety would be guilty of such a proceeding was too much for human nature to believe. There was also a charge made by a person named Mrs Nicholas, viz., that Mrs Codrington committed adultery with Lieut. Mildmay at the Hospice at St. Bernard ; and what did the accusation amount to when it becomes to be sifted to the bottom ? Mrs Nicholas says on one occasion Mrs Codrington was absent from her bedroom some ten or twenty minutes, therefore she must have gone to the apartments of Lieut. Mildmay. He could, he was glad to inform the jury, dispose of this charge in the most s tis factory way, because he should call before theta the very lady to whoso room Mrs Codrington went on that occasion referred to. That lady was a Miss Day, now Mrs Robinson. She would state that Mrs Codrington came to her on that evening and remained for about a quarter of an hour gossipping with her, and then returned to her room; and yet Mrs Nicholas, in her evidence, says that Miss Day was not of the party. He felt satisfied the jury knew how to deal with such reckless evidence. The ac quaintance of the Watsons with the Codringtons com menced in July, 1861, and, in a very short time after, Mrs Watson states that she became acquainted with the whole of the secrets of the Admiral's married life. What could have led to such a sudden and peculiar mark of confidence on the part of the Admiral he wss at a loss to discover. This evidence of the witness against her former friend was of the most bitter description, and her account of the " confessions," as she called them, was most extra ordinary. Ho need not remind the jury of this lady's demeanour in the witness-box. Whenever questions bearing a favourable construction for Mrs Codrington ware put to her she became exhausted and overcome. She wrought her evidence up to a sensation point, and then she quietly asked whether she need go further. How different her bearing when she was re-examined by his learned friend Mr Bevil]; then she was full of venom and vigour, and answered his questions without the slightest hesitation. As sensible men, would they be satisfied with such evidence ? It was marked throughout with the vilest cant and disgust ing hypocrisy such that in all his experience he had never witnessed before in any court of justice, but the climax of evil was not arrived at when this estimable lady stated that Mrs Codrington told her that she had committed adultery with Lieut. Mildmay in the open street. What was the conduct of this estimable person after such a com munication. Did she ,break off all conneztion with the person guilty of such an outrageous proceeding. Did she more than keep up the cold oonventualities which society required. No ! Why this person—this abandoned woman —who had, as it was alleged, committed so great a :crime —this woman was the first person that Niro Watson wrote to after the death of her mother, asking for comfort and consolation—writing to her in the warmest ,terms, and concluding her letter as her affectionate friend. The learned gentleman then proceeded to refer to the other allegations in the petition—viz,, the charges of adultery alleged to have been constituted in London on the 10th and 21st of July, 1863, and the 2d and 11th of July of the same year. Ho said the conduct of Admiral Codrington and Col. Anderson showed that he was too honourable a man to believe him guilty of the charges imputed against him, but that he (Admiral Codrington) was instigated to bring forward this proceeding by the unceasing enmity of Mrs Watson. The learned gentlemen concluded a very effective address, by assuring the jury that when they had heard the whole of the evidence he intended to call before them, they would sympathize with his client, and acquit her of the foul charge that was sought to fix upon her. Mr Price having addressed the jury on the part of the co-respondent, The following witnesses were then examined for the defence:— Henry Field Bird, examined by Mr Hawkins, Q.C.—I am the solicitor fur the petitioner. lam the friend of Mr and Mrs Watson. I was introduced by them to Admiral Codrington to conduct this suit. I have not had letters written by Mrs Watson handed to mo. I yesterday heard something about a letter written by Mrs Watson to the Ad miral. I asked him about it, and ho said he had not got it. I told him the purport of it, and I believe he searched f or i t, but he could not find it. The admiral said he did not recol lect receiving suoh a letter—that he believed he never re ceived such a letter. The letter placed in my hand is written by Admiral Codrington. I find there a quotation from the letter referred to. I asked the admiral whether he had any letters from Mrs Watson. Before the petition was filed I saw the admiral. He came to nie on the introduc tion of Mr and Mrs Watscn. He told me Mr Ycung, the family lawyer, had refused to take the case— Tr 1307i11-11 7 c don't want to hear anything about that. Eliza Horne said—l was at Malta from 1859 to 1861. I recollect a bazaar beng held there. I and Mrs Codrington made a screen for that bazaar. This was in May, 1860. 1 was intimate with Admiral and Mrs Codrington. I formed my own opinions us to how they lived outwardly, it would seem they lived happily. A disagreement had taken place between them, and I spoke to the admiral about it. In October, 1861, I made no communication to Mrs Watson about Mrs Codrington committing herself with Lieutenant Mildmay. I could not do so, as Mrs Codrington never made any such communication to me. Cross-examined by Mr Bovill—Mrs Codrington never talked to me about Lieutenant Mildmay. Mrs Robertson—l am the wife of a clergyman of the Church of England. I remember meeting Mrs Codrington in 1861 abroad. We made several excursions. I afterwards went to the Hospice St. Bernard and met Mrs Codrington. Before we arrived at the Hospice Lieutenant Mildmay left the party to secure rooms. At the Hospice Mrs Codrington's room was very near my own and my sister's. My father and mother occuped rooms on the same floor. Lieut. Mildmay was at the other end of the corridor. Mrs Codrington, on the night of arrival, came into my badroom, and we entered into a general conversation, and one of us promised to call her the next morning. Mrs Codrington at the Hospice always conducted herselt in an open and ladylike manner. Cross-examined by Mr Bovili —The Codringtons and cur party did not travel in company. The Judge Ordinary—How many nights did youromai at the Hospice ? Witness—Daly one. The Rev. Mr Day, father of the last witness, said he waa, travelling in Switzerland in August, 1851. My daughter's' description et the Hospice is quite correct. She and Mrs Codrington used to walk out together. During the time was at the Hospice I never observed anything unladylikei in Mrs Codrington's conduct. Richard 'Walsh—l was servant to Admiral Codrington in November, 1563. I don't know Colonel Andcrson. X recollect Sunday, the Gth of November, 1863, but I don't, recollect seeing that gentleman call at Eccleston-strect. j saw his card. Cross-examined by Mr Bovill—l have carried letters h 3, the post for Mrs Codrington. I never noticed the athlress. I have never taken letters to 43, Pall-mall, for M kis Cod rington. The further hearing of the ease was then adjourned. uctil to-morrow, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Byles and Keating.) TAYLOR V. RUMPHREYS..--THE REFRESHMENT ACT. Their lordships gave judgment in this case, which it will be recollected was an appeal from the decision of the magis trates of Birmingham, who find the appelant 40s. for serving refreshments during the hours prohibiteJ by the Refresh ment Act. The pnblichouse was situated at Moseley, and on a certain Ssnday the police constables found about 20 or 30 persons drinking therein. The landlord contended they were travellers and that had he refused to servo them with necessary refreshments he would have been liable to action and fine. The magistrates de cided the men were not travellers within the meaning of the act, and fined the landlord, and against this decision appeal was made. Their lordships said if the persons went to the house knowing they could obtain refreshments during illegal hours, then the decision of the magistrates was right; but if they went there as excursionists then the landlord was called upon to use his discretion as to the refreshments he would supply. There was not sufficient evidence to prove that the people found in the public-house went there for the purpose of illegally procuring drink, and therefore the decision of the magistrates must be overruled. Judgment accordingly. LONDON GAZETTE--This Evenings -41.- FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 8. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint the Honourable Thomas John Hovel!

EX-COUNCILLOR MACNISH AGAIN IN TROUBLE. —On Monday a letter was received from the police in London by the authorities in Glasgow, requiring them, if i.ossible, to apprehend Neil Macnish, at one time a Town Councilier of the City of Edinbnrgh, on a charge of fraud or embezzlement. Steps were at once taken to secure the alleged criminal, the result of which was that the detectives were successful in securing him the same evening in a house in town, from which he was conveyed to the Central Police-office. Of course nathing could be done until morn definite information was received ; and consequently he lay all Tuesday in a cell in South Albion - Krect. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, Sergeant Huggett, of the London detective force, arrived in Glasgow with a war rant, in accordance with the terns of which Macnish will now be formally handed over to the custody of the metro politan officer. The warrant sets forth that the accused has been guilty of embezzling three different sums—the largest of which is bets een £2O and £3O, belonging to his employer, Gustave Gech, merchant, London. Though the above sum is the largest of the three mentioned in the warrant, it does not follow that they are the only charges which will be made against the accused.—Norih British Mail.

SHOOTING THE MOON.—An officer down in Georgia tells the following story :—" One night General was out on the line, and observed a light on the moun tain opposite. Thinking It was a signal light of the enemy, he remarked to his artillery officer that a hole could easily be put through it. Whereupon the officer, turning to the corporal in charge of ,the gun, said, ' Corporal, do you sea that light?' Yes, sir,' Put a hole through it,' ordered the captain.
